Boxing legend and civil rights activist Muhammad Ali has lost his battle with a 32-year battle with Parkinson's disease. Mr. Ali died Friday at a Phoenix-area hospital, where he had spent the past few days being treated for respiratory complications.

He was surrounded by all his family and close friends. He suffered for three decades from Parkinson's, a progressive neurological condition that slowly robbed him of both his verbal grace and his physical dexterity. Reports say A funeral service is planned in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky where fans can watch outside and family inside.

So sad to hear! At least he had his family by his side and that he didn't suffer in his final moments.
